    Another "Move" question

    I have a vip 211k, top 120 package, am hooked up to an OTA antenna, and have an external hard drive. I have been reading the threads about "moving" to gain access to different local channels. Still trying to figure it out. My zip code is 39817 which I assume puts me in the Tallahassee, Fl...

    VIP 211K question

    Thanks guys for the info. Was just curious whether it would work or not as I am currently rewiring my home theater setup. My old zenith 32" CRT HDTV ready TV does not have an ATSC tuner so I will hook up my tuner box to a separate input for the future just in case. TV, entertainment center...

    Thanks Matt. Are there any ("reconnect/reactivate fees", etc.) when I don't use it for a month and then turn it back on? Can I manage my account online just like a customer under contract? Buy a different package whenever I want to? Please excuse my ignorance. I have never dealt with Dish...

    Activation questions for DIRT team

    Have purchased my own dish system: a new 211K receiver and a 1000.2 western arc dish from an online dealer. Have not received them yet.

    Correction to last post. Dish antenna is a dish 1000 with 3 lnb's. Not a dish 500. Sorry if that caused any confusion. Brad
